    I need help to Point me in the right direction. At work they have asked me to create a program to read scanning data and then create a timber log in 3D based on the scanned data. And they need it in Direct X , not Open Gl or in WPF or something like that. I have been searching and there pleanty of diffrent approaches with frameworks such as Unity and so on. How would you approach this ?

      I would start this by gathering all the requirements and breaking them down. For instance, what format does the scanning data come in as (is it an obj file for instance)? Do you have to do this yourself or are you getting it from another source? It's always a mistake to think about what coding techniques you need if you don't have an idea about what it is you're being asked to build.

        I have Everything well documented and i have a working solution to get scanner data. I get a list with the Diameters for every 2 cm of the log. But my problems is how to approach the 3D. Since they want me to do it in DirectX and not Open GL and they want me to select one of the frameworks out there such as Unity or any other. The problem is that i have no clue what package to select ? Unity ?
